A disastrously successful recee =D
hi everyone! haha hope that yall have refound ur butt and thighs by the time u read this. thanx everyone for making the effort to turn up for this extremely eventful bikehike recee.
haha other than the fact that it didnt rain, probably everything else that could happen happened to us. out of the 17 bikes we rented, some had the usual gear and chain problems, one had a punctured wheel and had to be sent home, one had a punctured wheel and had to be repaired with spanners and some godlike repair skills by mou at aarons house, one had a punctured wheel (that makes 3) and had to be replaced with aarons own bike. aarons bike then got punctured as well and apparently the wheel was smoking, the adventurous duo of mou and aaron then had to hitchhike back to east coast (on the way the bike got dumped in a random forest). haha coupled with all the near-death experiences and screams, we are all still breathing and laughing at the end of it so i guess that means it was a success.
ok after this tribute to our night, i hope everyone still remembers the route, restpoints and places where safety briefings are required. heres something to refresh ur memory so try to run through it in ur mind ok?
*will send every1 thru email*
my apologies for all the dangerous U-turns i made yall do and all the errors in judgement, and of course for all the exaggerations i made. haha jus thought it would be better for yall to overestimate the difficulty of the road =P
special thanks to waikuan for all the timely directions, mou and aaron for the determined piaing and bike repairS, junhua for taking the lead when it mattered and of course everyone being there and being so ezoac <333
its gonna be a blast,
nfsic =D
